There are a few running around my town that look like mild rock crawlers. I'm planning on doing tube style fenders, custom roll bar, and trying to modify the axles, beef up and widen them.
It most certainly does. I think Italeri read a Pete sales brochure and kinda paraphrased a version to the box, not knowing what motor they put in the box. I really need to get by the Freightliner dealer and some 60 series paint.
He's been really bbsy. It was about 2 weeks ago I emailed him till he yesterday. But he really does very nice aluminum work, to the point where I almost don't want to try. It's just easier and keeps another aftermarket parts guy in modeling busy.
The 2 tanks may be for the reefer unit. I see a lot of guys who run spread axle refers put a tank on each side in the space between the axles. Intermodal reefer trailers have 1 long tank in the same spot as your pic. The 2 tanks in your pic may just be there so he doesn't have to fuel the trailer as often.
On the 8v71s it's the big part at the back of the motor kinda on top. On the others it's usually mounted on the drivers side without the Fan belts. The compressors are typically ran off the front cover gear drive so the trick doesn't run out of air in event of a fan belt breaking. It looks kinda like a small Briggs and Stratton engine.
